How To Get Wider Lats - Back Width Workout

Looking for wider lats? The variations I do for back width might be just what you're looking for. If you feel like you have a hard time connecting with your lats exclusively then these three tweaks on popular exercises will definitely do the trick. Let me just pull out two main points from the video to highlight. This first thing I want you to try is to keep your elbow in a fixed position and let your lat do all the work. By doing pulling movements in an arch motion you're going to limit how much other supporting muscles get involved. The second thing is to perform each exercise in a range of motion that feels best to YOU. Even if you end up doing a very limited partial rep, the only thing that matters is that you connect with the muscle

Hmm idk. Good stuff. But I think Ryan-s earlier videos like this one worked out better since it was a little more serious. There are a couple lighthearted lines thrown in and halfway joking quips. However it doesn-t get to the point of his later content where every other line is a sophomoric comment chop-buster line. A few of them are actually funny as others have picked up on and said so, to which Ryan obviously took note and decided to -give people what they want- more humor. But I posit that sometimes its better to not give people what seems like they obviously want by turning an informative video into a 5 minute comedy workout routine.

Complete game changer for me was KNEELING cable pull downs. I-ve done them seated for years, and it always felt great, but doing them on your knees is another level of burn and pump. I think the difference is due to the hip flexors not being bent, lower back in a better position, and having overall better posture. For positioning, I take a few steps back (until I start to get resistance, then drop to the knees. On the negative, I let my body lean slightly forward to maximize the stretch/range of motion. It-s the best back movement I-ve ever done.

Two things that he's doing that he didn't take the time to spell out is he is keeping his elbows close together in the stretch position and they are winding out slightly as he reaches the contraction another thing he is doing on the pull-downs which also helps to help relaxes to keep your elbows forward of your body not out to the side notice he does this on all these exercises this is part of the reason why they work so well

My body has been transforming, and I don't think I have 30 days doing your program. I don't mind paying for it; this is the best thing I've been doing for myself. You're fantastic, and I appreciate the fact that you push us to grow. I appreciate the fact that you talk like a man. Keep up the excellent information and keep being yourself -- your great.

I've started sitting on my knees under a cable and with one hand pulling down and leaning down into that lat hard to get it to really clinch up. Making sure to engage that lat as hard as I can. I think it's been working for me really well. I've never seen anyone do it and discovered it while messing up another exercise -- but it works for me

Very informative. you don't go wide like arnold, according to some gurus you go narrow. or shoulder width. that's fits well for pullups. in some exercises don't go full range inI some exercises you cheat. in some exercises you fully stretch and if you going heavy partials is good depends on which portion of the lats. upper or lower.

Yes I agree. The best machine I ever used was the seated lat pull over machine, but my new gym does not have one. But like you said, that same movement is the perfect lat isolation action. I have already adapted a couple of those exercises but will definitely try the modified pull down. Thanks again, from Australia

Curious if I-m doing something wrong here-. Lat tower I pull between 140 and 160 lbs depending on the day-. You (MUCH larger than me) looked like you were pulling about 40 lbs-. Am I doing something wrong here or did you do it light for demonstration purposes?

This is my first comment here. You are really good at giving a lot of great information in a short period of time, even for someone who knows the anatomy pretty well. No B. S, no fluff, just hard work AND good form in the gym. Thanks for all that you do, Ryan.

I have no issue with lat activation and have a lat routine that leaves my whole back, especially lats dead each week. I got back tomorrow I will be trying the pullovers and pull downs. I-ll be back tomorrow and reply to this with my review.
